  1. edharris's post in GOOGLE indexing was marked as the answer   
    Hi @Hakora It looks like Google has successfully indexed some pages from your website. When I run a search for your brand name "iyanda el designs" I see your homepage showing as the second result in the SERP. See screenshot attached.
    It's hard to speculate about the other error messages you may be seeing from Google Search Console without looking at the property directly, but it's not uncommon for Google to show error or warning messages like the ones in your screenshots after crawling a website. Not all of these are cause for concern, it just depends which specific URLs they apply to.
    If you're looking to get more URLs from your website indexed and showing up in search results, start by thinking through who the target audience is and what search queries they might be entering into Google. Then take a look at the existing search engine results pages (SERPs) for those queries. That's your competition. From there, you can start building URLs that might compete with the URLs Google has currently selected as the "best" URLs to show for those search queries. The most important thing to focus on is high quality content that Google will not only index but also choose to rank highly compared to the competition.
    Hope that helps. Good luck!

  2. edharris's post in Help with migrating from one domain (WP) to another (Squarespace) was marked as the answer   
    Hi – I'd be happy to do some troubleshooting on a call if that would be helpful. We would need to look at the new Squarespace dashboard, Google Search Console properties for both domains, and the DNS records or both domains. I'm sure you want to get on top of it quickly, ideally before Google re-indexes the site!

  3. edharris's post in Organizing Google Search Engine Results was marked as the answer   
    Hi @TheBrattleboro - the additional "Sitelinks" that display below the main result are selected by Google based on what the algorithm thinks will be useful for a particular user's search term. This means that the set of sitelinks shown for your site may vary from one search to another depending on the search query the user entered.
    There's no way to directly control whether sitelinks are displayed, or what sitelinks are displayed. Generally having a clean, simple site architecture and navigation structure will help, but ultimately the algorithm will decide what to include.
    See more info from Google Search Central here: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/appearance/sitelinks
    Hope that helps,

  4. edharris's post in Checking SEO health with Ahrefs - Shows my pages all have two title pages? was marked as the answer   
    Hi - I think this error may be related to how the Ahrefs site verification tag is added to the website. It looks like you used the HTML tag method (out of the choice of verification methods listed here) but accidentally pasted in more code than you should have. When implemented correctly, you should be adding a code snippet that looks like the screenshot below into the Header section of the Settings > Advanced > Code Injection menu:

    Let me know if you need more help figuring it out 🙂

  5. edharris's post in No ability to view submitted forms? was marked as the answer   
    Nope ... Squarespace doesn't offer a way to view form submissions. You have to rely on one of the built in storage options – pushing submissions to a Google Sheet is the easiest option.
    if you're looking for help with more advanced form implementations on Squarespace let me know 🙂

  6. edharris's post in How to Show Brands in Search Results was marked as the answer   
    Since you're focusing on trying to increase SEO and search visibility for flute brand queries, I'd suggest the following:
    Create a page for each brand you want to rank for, and optimize all the usual places for SEO - make sure the SEO title, description, page title, etc all include "[BRAND NAME] Flutes".
    Then at the top of the page, include a short chunk of keyword-optimized text introducing what makes that brand unique, what kind of flutes they offer, what kind of player they might be best suited for ... (I'm not a flute expert!)
    Then below that introductory brand-specific copy, add a Summary block, pulling from the product collection, and filtered using the brand tag just only display that brand.
    Then make sure that the default system tag archive pages are set to SEO noindex in the settings.
    These custom pages with some introductory text are much more likely to rank than the system-built tag archive.
    Hope this helps!

  7. edharris's post in Sitemap - Google error: "Please enter a valid path to a sitemap in your site." was marked as the answer   
    This is the sitemap URL to add in the Google Search Console settings: https://www.easy-eiv.de/sitemap.xml - that should work without an error, since the sitemap is populated and publicly visible.
    Also looks like Google has already indexed three URLs on the site (see screenshot below).
    Hope that helps!

  9. edharris's post in Adwords conversion tracking was marked as the answer   
    Hi @DCaamano - what user actions are you trying to record as conversions? If you can get those actions (I'm guessing demo request form submissions?) set up as Goals in Google Analytics, then your Google Ad account should automatically start recording those once you link the two accounts up.
    Happy to provide more support with the configuration if you need it - just msg me and I can provide more info.
